How Many Racists?

there’s a raging disdain and disrespect for this president unseen in U.S. political history. And it’s because he’s black. I’ll say it again: it’s because he’s black. Carter has served America well by calling us as a nation out on it.

We racists also are thankful for Peanut Jim, but mostly because he is such a wonderful example of liberal doofusness.

Since I was one of the early racism-shouters here on Swampland, and on the Chris Matthews show last Sunday, I probably should explain why “this conversation” is heading in the wrong direction.

But most of all, they are freaked by an amorphous feeling that they America they imagined they were living in–Sarah Palin’s fantasy America–is a different place now, changing for the worse, overrun by furriners of all sorts: Latinos, South Asians, East Asians, homosexuals…to say nothing of liberated, uppity blacks.

Just one question – why is it you never hear the word uppity unless its from a liberal?
